file-search-tk 0.1.6

A tkinter app to search files based on a pattern

File Search TK

Simple Tkinter UI that:

• Lists files from a folder returned by an external fetch_logs script given a query.
• Shows selected file content.
• Highlights occurrences of the same query within the text.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• A script or executable named fetch_logs resolvable in PATH that takes a single argument (query) and prints a directory path to stdout.

Install

If using Poetry:

poetry install

Or via pip:

pip install -e .

Run

Using the installed console script:

file-search-tk

Or directly:

python -m file_search_tk.app

Notes

• The UI calls fetch_logs <query> in a background thread. The command must return a valid existing directory path on stdout and exit with code 0. Any stderr or non-zero exit code is treated as an error.
• File list shows only regular files at the top level of the returned directory, sorted by filename.
• Text area highlights case-insensitive matches of the query.
